🇱🇦Luang Prabang is the ancient royal capital of Laos — and one of Southeast Asia’s most atmospheric cities. In this video, I spend several days exploring Luang Prabang, from its UNESCO-protected old town and historic temples to the everyday neighborhoods, markets, river life, and food that most visitors never see.

Once the seat of Lao royalty for centuries, Luang Prabang sits at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, blending Buddhist tradition, French colonial architecture, and modern Lao daily life. I visit iconic places like Mount Phousi, the Royal Palace, and some of the city’s most important temples — but I also cross the river, wander local markets, try traditional Lao food, and explore parts of the city that don’t usually make it into travel guides.

This isn’t a checklist or a rushed highlights tour. It’s an honest look at what Luang Prabang actually feels like to experience with 5 days in the city — from peak sun to night markets — during the dry season.
